STEM at Home — Tower Builder Engineering Kit
All the materials your student needs to build earthquake-proof towers at home — pre-packaged and ready to go. Pairs directly with EdTech Academy's Workshop 2: Engineering Challenge — Build an Earthquake-Proof Tower (July STEM Workshops 2026).
Students use spaghetti, marshmallows, tape, and index cards to design and build the tallest, most stable tower they can — then test it with a 10-second shake test. This classic STEM engineering challenge teaches the design process, structural stability, and iterative improvement.
Kit includes:
Spaghetti (25 strands)
Mini marshmallows (1 bag)
Masking tape (small roll)
Index cards (6)
Ruler
Instruction card with challenge guide
Grades K–8 · Pairs with July Workshop 2 · Ships in 2–3 days
